Installing Components in the Node

Depending on the upgrade, you may need to install additional components in the DXi4700 Node (see

Capacity Upgrade Overview on page 7

). To install the additional Node components, see the following

sections:

l

Installing the Node Hard Drives below

l

Opening the Node Cover on page 17

l

Installing the Memory Modules on page 25

l

Installing the H810/H830 RAID Controller on page 30

l

Closing the Node Cover on page 33

Installing the Node Hard Drives

The Node has a total of 12 hard drive slots. For all configurations, 6 hard drives (4 TB each) are pre-installed
in hard drive slots 0–5.

If required for the upgrade, remove the hard drive blanks from slots 6–11 and install 6 hard drives (4 TB
each) in the Node. The additional hard drives must be installed in hard drive slots 6–11 (see

Figure 8 on the

).

Caution:

Do not remove the hard drives pre-installed in hard drive slots 0–5. If these drives are

removed for any reason, you must re-install them in their original positions.
